The
imaginary world of the world's most popular fantasy role-playing game comes
to life in this special-effects laden adventure. In the Empire of Izmer,
magic is the key to power in both the supernatural and political realms. The
Mages are a sect who know the secrets of magic and use it to hold sway over
the masses. The youthful Empress Savina (Thora Birch) wants to use her
powers to bring justice and prosperity to all, but Profion (Jeremy Irons) is
an evil Mage who wants to use his knowledge of magic to overthrow Savina and
establish his own despotic rule. Through deceitful means, Profion wins away
the special scepter that allows him to control the nation's Golden Dragons;
Savina's only hope to recover the scepter and the rule of Izmer is to obtain
the Rod of Savrille, a talisman that will give her powers over the Red
Dragons, even more powerful than their golden counterparts. As Savina sets
out to gain control of the Red Dragons, she gains a number of unlikely
allies, including a pair of thieves, Snails (Marlon Wayans) and Ridely
(Justin Wayans); a powerful dwarf, Elwood (Lee Arenberg); and Norda (Kristen
Wilson), an elf with a gift for finding lost objects. Dungeons & Dragons
also features Zoe McLellan, Bruce Payne, and Richard O'Brien, the latter of
whom is best known as the writer and co-star of the perennial cult item The
Rocky Horror Picture Show. | Justin Whalin | Ridley Freeborn |
